Iranian authorities have voted to lift a ban on Meta's instant messaging platform WhatsApp and Google Play as a first step to scale back internet restrictions.
The restrictions have achieved nothing but anger and added costs to people's lives, presidential adviser Ali Rabiei said on X.
While some lawmakers see this as a necessary step towards internet freedom, others warn against lifting the curbs, viewing it as a gift to Iran's enemies.
Pezeshkian, who took office in July, had promised to ease Iran's longstanding internet restrictions, marking a potential shift in the internet policy.
